I have been asking/begging Jack to take me to California for years. He had made a vow to himself never step foot in the state so it was a hard sell for me. A few years back we had saved a little money and had a choice on how to spend it....a new big screen tv or a trip to California. Some how Jack won out on that purchase. I knew that I couldn't convince him on my own so I started recruiting people. Lucky for me one of Jack's good friends,Mark, and his wife, Peggy, are California/Disneyland freaks. I think they have been there a million times. Mark started working on Jack. He sent home Disneyland promotional dvds, emailed advertisments, everything Disneyland he came across he gave to Jack. It finally worked!! Yah for me!!!! We spent 7 days there...Jack survived and had fun.
Jack & I outside Mainstreet U.S.A. We spent the first 2 days in Disneyland and California Adventure.
Here we are in California Adventure in front of the water rapids ride.

Jack & I...I with my Minnie Mouse ears...on the Mark Twain Riverboat.
I got to meet Mickey when I visited his house. Jack missed this. So sad for him!!
It is hard to say what my favorite part of Disneyland was but I definitely LOVED Mickey's Toontown. So fun!! We explored all of the buildings, rode on the Roger Rabbit ride and ate lunch there on Friday. The only thing we didn't get to see was Minnie's house. There was always a long line there...gee I wonder why??? We will have to see that on our next trip. I made Jack promise me we would go again.
We spent Friday at Disneyland & California Adventure also. We ate dinner at the Blue Bayou Restaurant which is inside the Pirates of the Caribean ride. We waited for a table by the water so we could see the fireflies, hear the cricket and watch the people go by in their boats as we ate dinner. The food was SO good. I had Jambalaya for the first time....YUMMY!! Jack had lobster and steak.
We had so much fun on our trip. It was a great get away. I didn't think or worry about anything at home for the entire week. I guess that is what the "happiest place on earth" does to you!!!

How were the crowds, you are in between summer and spring break? We went down last spring and had so much fun! I love it there!
The crowds weren't bad at all especially in the morning. It got a little crowded in the evening but still not bad. We definitely made a point of avoiding spring break & summer vacation time.
